Background: Internal migration, a consequence of the demographic transition towards urbanization driven by globalization, represents a particular public health challenge. Change in residence from one sociocultural geographic context to another, with not only economic implications, but also changes in women’s long-established relationships of family interdependence, influences gender relations and can influence Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) against women. Different migratory trajectories may be related to IPV. The aim of this study was to identify the association between internal migration and physical and/or sexual violence against women in the last 12 months. Methods: A secondary analytical cross-sectional analysis of the publicly accessible 2015–2017 Demographic and Family Health Survey (DHS) was performed. The outcome variable was reported physical and/or sexual violence inflicted by the partner (IPV) during the last 12 months. Exposure variable was internal migration, operationalized from three questions: current place of residence, principal place of residence before 12 years of age and number of years of residence in the current place. Migrants were classified as those who reported having lived for 5 years or more in the current location and were categorized as rural-rural migrants, urban-urban migrants, urban–rural migrants and rural–urban migrants, recent migrants and nonmigrants those who resided in the same place all their lives. To identify the association between internal migration and physical violence, a generalized linear model (GLM) of the family and the log Poisson link log option was used, and the results are presented as prevalence ratios (PRs). A crude model and a model adjusted for confounding variables were performed. Results: Rural–urban migrant women had a 15.0% higher probability of experiencing IPV than nonmigrant women (PRa 1.15, 95% CI 1.03–1.29, p = 0.015), while the probability of experiencing IPV in the last 12 months for urban–rural, rural-rural,urban-urban migrantand recent migrant women was not significantly different from that of nonmigrant women. Conclusion: Rural–urban migration among women of childbearing age is a factor associated with a higher probability of IPV in the last 12 months. The identification of women with this rural–urban migration pattern could help prioritize those that may experience a greater probability of physical and/or sexual violence in Peru, it must be studied if this pattern is the same in other countries. / Revisión por pares

The purpose of this mixed-methods descriptive study with parents of children newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes was to explore their experiences with peer social support following the Social Support to Empower Parents (STEP) intervention and to examine the usefulness of the Family Management Measure (FaMM) in this population. The specific aims were to describe parents' experiences with the STEP social support intervention, describe parents' day-to-day diabetes management as measured by the FaMM, describe the relationship between parental management scores in the six FaMM dimensions and the social support intervention dose used, and explore FaMM scores in relationship to parent satisfaction with the STEP social support intervention. Identified themes of availability, practical tips, and common ground resonated throughout the interviews with parents and reflected Ireys' emotional, informational, and affirmational social support framework. Regardless of the intervention dose, number of parent mentor contacts, or scores on the FaMM scales, all parents interviewed when questioned, gave a 5/5 for satisfaction with the STEP RCT, qualitatively underscoring the positive effect of the intervention.

Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) for alcohol use has been shown to reduce rates of alcohol use across multiple clinical settings, and is routinely recommended by the United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF). In 2005 the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) recommended implementing a single item screening question (SISQ) for this purpose. Since then the SISQ has been well validated compared to other tools, such as the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). It has not, however, been well studied in particular populations, such as those with comorbid anxiety and/or depressive disorders. Medicare Annual Wellness Visits present a unique opportunity to study the SISQ because while they do inquire about alcohol use, they do not routinely include a SISQ. Our study seeks to investigate the efficacy of implementation of a SISQ during Medicare Annual Wellness Visits in a residency clinic population with anxiety and/or depressive disorders. Data collection is ongoing and will measure rates of referral to treatment before and after the SISQ is implemented, as well as rates of brief interventions given.

Previous research reveals the existence of social distance between the social policies that govern care work and human services that make up child welfare systems and their front-line implementation by direct service workers. The authors suggest that the nature of child welfare and human services requires discretion and flexibility that is not built into governing social policies. Our study uses qualitative ethnographic methods including participant observation, informal interviewing, and content analysis to determine the extent to which front-line barriers persist to implementing child welfare and related types of human services social policies and legal mandates. A comparison of different human services settings is presented along with a social policy analysis. A discussion of implications for front-line care work and ongoing research goals will be included.

Purpose The Johnson City Downtown Day Center (JCDDC) provides integrated inter-professional primary care, mental health, and social work case management services to homeless and under-served persons who have difficulty accessing traditional systems. Because of the exponential rise in substance abuse in the Appalachian region, the JCDDC providers and staff initiated SBIRT as recommended standard of care, as endorsed by SAMHSA, United States Public Health Services Task Force, and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. The JCDDC has two mechanisms by which patients can choose to participate in substance abuse treatment: SMART Recovery, and psychiatric nurse practitioner (NP) referrals. The purpose of the project evaluates use of SBIRT at the JCDDC by determining process of (1) referral and (2) follow-up rates of those who received SBIRT; analyzing outcomes by measuring numbers of: (1) screens administered; (2) brief interventions; (3) positive screens; (4) referrals to either SMART Recovery or to the psychiatric NP; (5) participation in one follow-up. Review of Literature: Approximately 6.4 million people, or 2.4% of the U.S. population 12 years and older, currently misuse prescription medications. There is an undeniable and tangible correlation between the chronic disease of substance use disorder and unstable housing or homelessness (de Chesnay & Anderson, 2016). Similarly, substance use disorder was found to be much more common in people facing homelessness than in people who had stable housing (National Coalition for the Homeless, 2009). Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has been the most significant funding source for SBIRT proliferation in the United States. Despite a demonstrated need for substance abuse services among this vulnerable population, people who are homeless have substantially greater barriers to obtaining treatment and often go without. Summary of Innovation or Practice The current SBIRT process includes use of DAST-10 and AUDIT tools. Evaluating clinic processes and outcomes in vulnerable populations who have inconsistent erratic follow-up is challenging. However, new ways of understanding patterns and incremental outcomes is essential to addressing clinic practice that can impact outcomes in vulnerable groups. Implications for NPs The heterogeneity of the homeless population is often precipitated by a host of complicating factors including co-occurring mental illness, multiple chronic conditions, unstable income, and lack of transportation. Therefore, the importance of finding effective, cost-conscious processes that are population specific and patient-centered is essential for future research and policy. The inter-professional model of care also informs future practice by evaluating the feasibility of administering all of the elements of SBIRT in a single facility.

<p>Primary care multi-disciplinary teams were central to recent reform plans for Canadian primary care, in response to limited resources and increasing demands. Health Information Technology was also an integral part of those plans as supporting infrastructure for the modernization of healthcare services, facilitating coordination, collaboration and access to services. As provider-centric Health Information Technology matures, attention turns to the patient. The hallmark of patient-centered applications is the electronic Personal Health Record System (PHR). These systems have grown beyond simple repositories of personal health information, extending to a range of information collection, sharing, self-management and exchange functions.</p> <p>The implementation of PHRs in primary care multi-disciplinary teams involves many stakeholders including patients, physician, allied health professionals and support staff. There is significant literature on physician and patient perspectives on all PHR functions. However, little attention has been given to the other stakeholders: allied health professionals and support staff.</p> <p>In this study, we explored the views of Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) and support staff, working in a primary care clinic adopting a patient-centered, multi-disciplinary model called the Family Health Team (FHT) model. Participants provided their insight on benefits, concerns and recommendations regarding the implementation of MyOSCAR, a PHR, at their clinic. Qualitative data was collected through semi-structured one-on-one interviews that were analyzed to extract common themes and summarize participant views. Process diagrams were produced to highlight opportunities for improvement of current work processes through the integration of MyOSCAR functions.</p> <p>As more teams are created in primary care and they attempt to implement new technologies, it is important to get a complete picture of all stakeholder views. This is the first study that focuses on the views of AHPs and support staff, contributing to the literature on PHR implementations. Findings from this study can contribute to future PHR implementations by informing planning and implementation.</p> / Master of Science (MSc)

Analisar o processo de implantação do NASF e a reorganização do serviço de Saúde Mental (SM) sob a percepção dos profissionais envolvidos no cenário da Atenção Primária de Saúde (APS) da cidade de Botucatu- SP. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, através da coleta de dados de entrevistas semiestruturadas e fontes de dados secundários produzidos pelo NASF, no ano de implantação deste serviço. O perfil sociodemográfico dos entrevistados e as fontes de dados secundários foram analisados estatisticamente. As entrevistas foram transcritas, categorizadas e analisadas, conforme o conteúdo temático. Resultados: Os entrevistados eram 90,6% do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 32 anos. Quase um terço nunca realizou cursos em Saúde da Família (SF). Os casos discutidos com o NASF foram 67,3% da área estratégica de SM e em sua maioria, feitos por profissionais de nível superior. E 22% dos casos discutidos foram de pacientes com idade inferior a 12 anos. O tratamento da maioria dos casos (93%) foi realizado na APS, porém a Equipe de Referência (ER) não assumiu a coordenação dos projetos terapêuticos singulares. A ER entende o NASF como uma equipe de apoio multiprofissional, mas demonstra dificuldade na execução do matriciamento. O processo de implantação do NASF provocou um desconforto na ER por falta de preparo e conhecimento insuficiente sobre essa estratégia. O conceito de SM relatado pela maioria dos entrevistados foi de uma condição de bem-estar das pessoas. As abordagens em SM são realizadas pela maioria dos profissionais da ER, no entanto, não reconhecem esta prática. Já os profissionais do NASF relatam desenvolvê-la no apoio matricial e acreditam que esta deva ser explorada em todos os espaços da unidade. A ER refere acolher queixas psicossociais, porém confia que a continuidade do cuidado deva ser de responsabilidade dos serviços especializados ou dos profissionais de nível superior. Conclusão: A presença do NASF na APS tem como objetivo matriciar os profissionais da ER para o atendimento a pacientes de diversas áreas estratégicas e apoiar a rede da APS na reorganização do serviço de SM. Porém a implantação deste serviço sem o planejamento participativo e adequado culminou na criação de um serviço fragmentado de especialidades, dentro da APS. / To analyze the deployment process of the NASF and reorganization of mental health (SM) services in the perception of the professionals involved in the scenario of Primary Health Care (APS) in the city of Botucatu, SP. Methods: This is a qualitative research, data collection through semi-structured interviews and secondary data sources produced by NASF in the year of service deployment. The sociodemographic profile of respondents and sources of secondary data were statistically analyzed. The interviews were transcribed, categorized, and analyzed according to thematic content. Results: Respondents were 90.6% females, with a mean age of 32 years. Almost a third have never taken courses in Family Health (SF). The cases discussed with the NASF were 67.3% of the strategic area of mental health and mostly made by top-level professionals. And 22% of the cases discussed were of patients under 12 years of age. The treatment of the majority of cases (93%) was performed in the APS, but the Reference Health Center (ER) has not assumed the coordination of the singular therapeutic projects. The ER understands the NASF as a multidisciplinary support team, but demonstrates difficulty in implementing the matrix support. The implementation process of the NASF caused discomfort in the ER for lack of preparation and insufficient knowledge about this strategy. The concept of SM reported by most respondents was a condition of well being. Approaches in SM are carried by most ER professionals, however, do not recognize this pratice. The professionals of the NASF reported develop it in the matrix support and believe that this should be explored in all areas of health care center. The ER refers receive psychosocial complaints, but believe that continuity of care should be responsibility of specialized services or top-level professionals. Conclusion: The presence of NASF in APS aims matrix support to ER professionals for care of patients in various strategic areas and support a network of APS in the reorganization of the SM service. However the implementation of this service without proper planning, culminated in the creation of a fragmented specialties service within the APS.

Introdução Dada a sua crescente relevância epidemiológica e seu grande impacto na saúde das populações, diversos governos e entidades no mundo inteiro têm se preocupado com o tema da Saúde Mental. O relevante investimento em estudos epidemiológicos realizado no Brasil vem comprovando os índices alarmantes encontrados no mundo todo, especialmente na Atenção Primária da Saúde. No contexto da Reforma Sanitária Brasileira com a implantação do Sistema Único de Saúde, outro movimento, o da Reforma Psiquiátrica, ganhou alcance político e consolidou se como política pública de saúde no âmbito governamental e implantou importantes mudanças no modelo assistencial, deslocando a centralidade hospitalar anterior para um modelo assistencial de base comunitária. A implantação do SUS trouxe importantíssimas mudanças no modelo tecnoassistencial da saúde conformando outros arranjos na chamada Atenção Primária da Saúde, com o desenvolvimento da Estratégia Saúde da Família. Reconheceu-se a necessidade de maior presença e articulação de ações de Saúde Mental nesse nível de atenção. Objetivo: Analisar, na percepção dos profissionais envolvidos, a implantação de um Programa de Apoio à Saúde Mental na Atenção Primária de Saúde, articulada na Estratégia Saúde da Família. Métodos: Estudo de caso, de abordagem qualitativa. Utilizou-se pesquisa documental, entrevistas, discussão em grupo e observação em campo. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo, agrupados em categorias, expostos à triangulação e discutidos à luz de seus pressupostos teóricos. Resultados: Foram observados resultados favoráveis, impasses e desafios na integração de ações de saúde mental na Estratégia Saúde da Família. Conclusões: A necessidade de ampliação do programa para se alcançar um maior grau de implantação, foi constatada. Mudanças na Estratégia de Saúde da Família deveriam ser sugeridas com o intuito de contemplar e integrar ações de saúde mental em seu âmbito, principalmente para conseguir alcançar - se o princípio da Integralidade / Introduction Due to its increasing epidemiological relevance and its great impact on the populations health, various governments and worldwide entities have been concerned about Health Mental themes. The relevant investment on epidemiological studies carried out in Brazil proved the alarming index found all over the world, especially on Primary Attention of Health. In the context of the Brazilian Sanitary Reform with the implantation of the Health Unique System, the Psychiatric Reform movement got a political reach and consolidation as public politics of health in the governmental ambit besides implanting expressive changes in the assistance models, moving the former hospital centrality to an assistance model of community base. The implantation of SUS has brought important changes to the techno-assistance model of health, adjusting other arrangements in the Primary Attention of Health with the development of the Family Health Strategy. It has been recognized the need of more presence and more articulation of Mental Health actions on this level of attention. Objective: To analyze, from the involved professionals perception, the implantation of a Supporting Program for the Mental Health in the Primary Attention of Health, linked to the Family Health Strategy. Methods: Case study of qualitative approach. Documental research, interviews, group discussion have been used as well as field observation. Data have been submitted to content analysis, clustered into categories, exposed to triangulation and discussed under the sight of their theoretical pretexts. Results: Favorable results, impasses and challenges in the integration of mental health actions in the Family Health Strategies have been noticed. Conclusions: The need of the program enlargement in order to reach a higher degree of implantation has been verified. Changes in the Family Health Strategy should be suggested with the purpose of contemplating actions and integrating mental health actions in its ambit, mainly to get to reach the principle of integrality
